Pop Japan

Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. One bite is never enough for these meaty crab cakes from Japan. This is the Crab Cream Croquette. 

The crab cream croquette is a crunchy cake made of crab meat and onions, coated in panko bread crumbs. Thinly -sliced onions and shredded crab meat is sauteéd in butter. The meat is then added to a mixture of flour, milk, butter, and eggs to make the filling. After the filling has been cooled in the refrigerator, it is then molded into a patty then coated in bread crumbs, flour, and egg. It is then deep fried until golden brown.  

It only takes a matter of minutes to prepare and cook this dish. It's the perfect dish to whip up from lunch bento boxes to midnight snacks.
